I played WoW for thankfully less than you did. I'm still perplexed by your inability to see the obvious visual similarities. The models and style are extremely similar, but this discussion is beyond pointless, so the hell with it.

Maybe I'm just not as dedicated to the trolling as he is.
I suck at trolling. :(
For better context this is Runes of Magic:

That is a ripoff. It doesn't have a similar structure to WoW interface it has the same exact thing with some changes to color scheme at most. It was accused of actually stealing code from the game, but they denied it. That is a rip off.
This Order & Chaos games is just CoD to Battlefield.
This is from the company that brought you such hits as:
Final Shmantasy
Grand Car Stealing: Vice Town AND Grand Car Stealing: San Angeles
Haylow
Call of Honor: Modern Wartime
Diety of War
StarCroft
Advanced Warz
Rejeweled
And the real titles are only slightly less embarassingly blatant. This is what GameLoft does. There's really no doubt of their intentions here, Yoshi's right, regardless of if they were really successful in nailing the aesthetic.
Now for some of those the first thing I think is "how did they think they would get away with that?"
For shit like the MW2 rip off if they had just not named it so similar I would have thought "oh, another military shooter" which is the same thing I thought when I saw Order & Chaos. I suppose the evidence is in favor of them probably trying their best to copy WoW, so if anything it's interesting that it's less obvious at first appearance than other games I've seen.
Hmm.

My experience with their games is that they're very polished but very, very short. Obviously the latter won't be an issue with an MMO, but I wonder if there might be the same kind of lack of content.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot Castlemania, which could almost pass for a real CV game.
